Apr 25-27: BFS Presents: '24 Frames a Sec' Screenings 
"Not Blood… Red"

- Jean-Luc Godard in a Cahiers du Cinema interview on
`Pierre Le Fou' arguing on why even children can watch the film
in spite of all the `bloodshed'

"0100110010100111001010101110000100000101011101…."

- The Truth??

Truth is subjective.

Truth is objective.

Truth is the first casualty.

Bangalore Film Society is proud to present '24 Frames a Second',
a triptych of classic chronicles of film-makers in their eccentric quest
to construct or rather deconstruct cinema in a pure form. When so much
of cinema is unabashed cosmetics, we follow auteurs Orson Welles,
William Greaves, Lars Von Trier and Jorgen Leth as they experiment with
content, form, theory, notions of cinema, their own egos and
manipulations in the process of filmmaking to realize the film as an
image or atleast a broad idea of absolute truth.

Friday 25th April, 2008 Time: 6.30pm

F for Fake (1974/88min) Dir: Orson Welles

What is art? How much of it is lie and how much is truth? And who is the
judge? Orson Welles's last completed major work `F for Fake'
is an epic, flamboyant and incisive meditation on the nature of illusion
and truth. Welles weaves together several narratives including that of
his real-life companion Oja Kodar, Elmyr de Hory a professional art
forger and hoax biographer Clifford Irving along with ruminations and
manipulations of Welles himself in a milestone of film-editing rumored
to have taken a whole year to complete.

Saturday 26th April, 2008 Time: 6.30pm

Symbiopsychotaxiplasm (1968/75min) Dir: William Greaves

The greatest film never seen, Director William Greaves's iconic 1968
cinematic experiment `Symbiopsychotaxiplasm' is best described
as a film within a film within a film. Free flowing and unscripted,
Greaves etches and explores the process of film-making as each strand
unfolds and self-reflexively affects the nature of the others.
Pioneering the split-screen technique, with almost no experience in
film-making, in the middle of crowded Central Park, Greaves and his crew
create cinema history as they set out to make a `feature length
we-don't-know'.

Sunday 27th April 2008 Time: 6.30 pm

The Five Obstructions (2003/90min) Dir: Lars Von Trier & Jorgen Leth

Jorgen Leth had retired after a long and successful career as
film-maker, author, creative director and later chairman of Danish Film
Institute when his past comes back to haunt him in the form of once
protégé and now world renowned enfant terrible auteur Lars Von
Trier. Von Trier has been long obsessed by Seth's classic short film
`The Perfect Human' and now challenges Seth to direct a remake.
The only catch being that the diabolical Von Trier has five conditions
that Seth must first overcome. Thus unfolds a perverse chronicle of a
clash of egos and ultimately a search for the truth.

Secret Ballot
Director: Babak Payami
(2001/105minutes/English sub)

---------------------------------
Film synopsis
An unsuspecting soldier awakens to discover that he can forget about another uneventful day at his lonely seaside post. It's Election Day!

A ballot box is parachuted down as a young woman pulls up to the shore of the remote island. To the soldier's surprise, she's actually the government bureaucrat in charge of local voting. The couple gets off to a rocky start since the soldier expects election agents to be men.

Whether he wants to or not, the soldier is thrown into an elections adventure that just may put him out of a job. Orders from above force him to accompany the female agent in an army jeep across the island's dusty desert. The agent literally leaves no stone unturned in her search for ballots. Many a surprise lies along their route, as they find themselves in one absurd situation after another.

So much can happen in a single day, especially when opposites attract. Views can change, hearts can melt. By sunset, a woman's idealistic notions can come back down to earth. And a lonely man can discover there's more to voting by secret ballot than he ever imagined

Awards - Silver Lion for Best Director - Babak Payami - 2001 ,Venice International Film Festival Pasinetti Award for Best Film – 2001, Venice International Film Festival

Affordable Pianos for Music Education - w/ Advanced Hammer Action 
 
OFFERS AFFORDABLE SOLUTIONS FOR PIANO EDUCATION IN BANGALORE
A New Piano Rental Program
Dear Bangalore Piano Students,
For those studying Western Classical Piano, and taking board exams for Trinity College London, the Associated Board of the Royal Schools of Music, Suzuki Method, or other internationally recognized piano pedagogy exams, it is very important that students practice on a hammer action key-bed to build up the strength in the fingers before appearing for their exams.  On an acoustic piano, the action of the hammers striking the strings is what produces the notes you hear. Unfortunately, on average keyboards that most students practice on, they DO NOT have this action on the key-beds.  Students often play "ghost" notes when performing during their finals, on their assigned acoustic piano.
Suzuki introduced 3 different models of Full Size 88 Grand Digital Pianos to Bangalore to fulfill the requirement for this market.  Info at: http://suzukimusicindia.com/pianos/index.htm
The Advanced Graded Hammer Action Keybed on these digital pianos duplicates both the weight and the mechanical movement on our fine acoustic grand pianos.  The key touch is heavier for low notes and lighter for high notes to simulate the string thickness, hammer size and damper in a grand piano, to meet the standards of the most discerning player or teacher.  Of course the other major advantage to a Suzuki Digital Grand Piano is that it never goes out of tune. 
Although these pianos are priced at very competitive prices, (starting at less than Rs. 50,000/-), we have come across many who cannot afford an outright purchase of a piano.  Due to these requests from parents and students, we are offering the following three options for piano students for their music education in Bangalore.  
Option1:
Practice lab, where students can come in and practice on a hammer action piano - (offered at very affordable hourly rates - or free for those deserving students - at our facility located near Mekhri Circle)  
Option2:
Rental of  Suzuki Pianos - (a graded hammer action piano delivered to a private residence for a minimum rental period of six months, so that students can practice at the time of their choosing) 
Option3:
Purchase of a piano on EMI (subject to approval by a bank - as per  their credit policy guidelines).  
Please contact us to discuss various affordable options for your piano education program by sending an email to : sales@thomasmusicindia.com  .  It is our goal to help every student  achieve their goals and dreams .   
Above is a picture of the Suzuki HP-3 piano we provide, complete with rosewood finish cabinet, a matching bench, and even a voltage regulator/stabilizer for the varying conditions in Bangalore.

Nani Cinematheque, Centre for Film and Drama 5th floor, Sona Towers, 71 Millers Road, Bangalore 560052
 
Entrance for members only. Please bring your membership cards. If you are not a member, please come to the venue half an hour before the screening and register. For more information, please visit: www.vikalpblr.org
 
SCHEDULE:
 
April 18, 6.30pm
Kaun Mille Dekho Kissko Director: NAMITA MALHOTRA India, 2007, 16 minutes
The filmmaker will be present for the screening.
About Elsewhere Director: PRIYA SEN India, 2007, 29 minutes
Cashback Director: SEAN ELLIS UK, 2004,18 minutes
Sea in the Blood Director: RICHARD FUNG Canada, 2000, 26 minutes
 
April 19, 6.30pm
Our Family Dir: ANJALI MONTEIRO and K P JAYSANKAR India, 2007, 56 minutes
The filmmakers will be present for the screening.
Synopses:
Kaun mille dekho kissko (the merry gay round of luv) This is a short film made from clips of the mainstream Bollywood hit film Kal Ho Na Ho. The film subverts the narrative of the heterosexual triangle to tell the story of queer love and desire, and explores the accidental slippages in popular cinema that allow for the narrative of a gay love story between two male characters.
 
About Elsewhere About Elsewhere is a film that seeks to foreground the impossibility of fixing notions of sexuality through ideas of "identity" and "language". As the film moves through various worlds the filmmaker has inhabited, it suggests a self in constant formation; one that constructs itself from parts and places that are in themselves, fragments of memory and experience. The film uses the metaphor of a "shell" as a place of repose and withdrawal from which it is possible to emerge. Uniquely, and with all the flair and multiplicity that accompanies a way of being.
 
Cashback Ben Willis is an art student who works the night shift several times a week at the Whitechapel Sainsbury's. He's clear about the arrangement: he trades his time for money - cashback, as he calls it. We meet his co-workers, Sharon, Barry, and Matt, and their supervisor, Jenkins. Ben's colleagues are good at wasting time, but Ben talks to us about how he makes his shift go faster: by imagining that time has stopped. We see this late-night world of drudgery through Ben's eyes, as time does indeed stop, and he can get out his sketch book.
 
Sea in the Blood A personal documentary about living with illness, tracing the relationship of the artist to thalassemia in his sister, Nan, and AIDS in his partner, Tim. The narrative of love and loss is set against a background of colonialism in the Caribbean and the reverberations of migration and political change.
 
Our Family What does it mean to cross that line which sharply divides us on the basis of gender? To free oneself of the socially constructed onus of being male? Is there life beyond a hetero-normative family?
 
Set in Tamilnadu, India, 'Our Family' brings together excerpts from Nirvanam, a one-person performance, by Pritham K. Chakravarthy and a family of three generations of trans-gendered female subjects. Aasha, Seetha and Dhana, who are bound together by ties of adoption, belong to the community called Aravanis (aka Hijras, in some parts of India). Aasha Bharathi, the grandmother, is the president of the Tamilnadu Aravanigal Association, Chennai. Seetha, the daughter lives with her male partner Selvam, in Coimbatore. Dhana, Seetha's adopted daughter also lives with her and shuttles between her adopted and her natal families.
 
The film juxtaposes the 'normality' of their existence with the dark and powerful narrative by Pritham- 'Nirvanam'; Nirvanam (Liberation) refers to the act of liberating oneself from the male body and transforming oneself to a female. This narrative bears witness to the tumultuous journey towards a reinvented selfhood, a journey fraught with violence, exploitation, affection and courage. The pains, pleasures and dilemmas of becoming the 'other' is the motif of the film. Weaving together performance, life histories and everyday life, it problematises the divides between 'us' and 'them'.

Apr 23: Shreds and Patches - A Solo Performance Based On The Works Of Shakespeare 
 
"Logos Theatre, in association with Natakvalas, is presenting 'Shreds
and Patches' - a solo piece devised and performed by Arka Mukhopadhyay

- on 23rd April, on the occasion of William Shakespeare's birth and
death anniversary.

The piece takes as its starting point the question : 'Who is 'my'
Shakespeare? What does he mean to me, as a performer, as an Indian,
and as a human being?' An object of deep love and veneration, the
ultimate symbol of human genius, or a disturbing symbol of the
colonizing force of language? The piece attempts to find the answers
in fragments of the bard's plays and sonnets themselves - the shreds
and patches of him (the title is taken from the closet scene of
Hamlet) that are reflected in various realms of our own experiences.
The piece delves first into the troubling questions of staging
Shakespeare, of finding his 'meaning', and ultimately, into the
meaning of performance itself. It branches out in different directions
- Into the exterior world of Bollywood and IT, Iraq and occupied
Palestine, of intolerance and organized terror. Yet it is just as much
an exploration of form and medium - trying to find, if possible, ways
of looking at Shakespeare through the structure of ancient Indian
theatre, probing into the universe of the performer's body and its
relationship with the peformance space, and finally trying to unify
the deeply personal and the universal in the playground of
Shakespeare's texts. .

Structured in the form of storytelling, the performance is essentially
non-repeatable, for it makes itself as it goes along, relying only on
its own internal logic to find direction, delving into the ephemeral
heart of theatre itself – a tribute to the man who, more than anyone
in any age or place, personifies the dramatic art.

At: Centre for Film and Drama, fifth floor, Sona Towers, Millers Road.
On: April 23rd, at six PM and again at eight PM.
Duration: fifty-five minutes
